Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Highlight.

Highlights usually need a refresh every 6–12 weeks depending on hair growth, color contrast, and maintenance routine. We recommend touch-ups or toning appointments to keep brightness and blend new growth. Your stylist will advise a schedule based on your hair goals.

When performed by a trained colorist, highlights use controlled lightening and are less damaging than full bleaching. Using protective formulas, precise timing, and a finishing glaze minimizes breakage. We assess hair condition first and recommend treatments to maintain strength and integrity.

A full head of highlights typically takes 1.5–3 hours, depending on hair length, thickness, and desired brightness. Time includes consultation, precise foil or balayage placement, processing, rinsing, and a glaze to enhance color and shine.

Use sulfate-free color-safe shampoo, cool water rinses, and a moisturizing conditioner to preserve tone and prevent fading. Schedule regular glossing treatments and use a UV-protectant or leave-in to maintain shine. Avoid excessive heat and chlorine to extend color life.
